Wallbright's I Did Nothing Build and BS Thread

​

 

Haven't updated the thread in a while.

Installed a high tech parking sensor in the garage to help keep from hitting the back wall:



Also some pictures from the header rail mishap with the screw. First picture is when it stripped. Second picture is after I finally got it out and what hell I put it through compared to the replacements I ordered lol. Pro tip: Irwin makes a bolt extractor set that works flawlessly and is all you need. I wish I discovered that set three hours earlier.....

 

I also installed the poor man's bed lights. I velcroed them to the sides of the bed. They actually work really well. They are not water proof though so they would need to be removed if the tonneau is ever rolled up.





I also bought a Swagman XC bike rack that has been working great. It has a threaded locking hitch pin for stability that is a tad annoying to put in and take out but it's worth it.

 

I also had to replace the rear driver's side tire due to a screw. Pissed me off but I caught it in time so better than a blown tire I suppose.

 

Then finally here's an updated picture.

 

Looking good man!!​

 

Roof rack ordered! Will update when installed.

 

Got a little tipsy last night, so sorry for the crappy pictures, and thought it would be fun to use power tools. Finally got around to configuring the rod holder for the bed rails.

 

Looks good!

 

The roof rack ended up being a bigger pain in the ass than I could have imagined. My truck was not drilled properly from the factory. On top of that, after I took off the covering tape from the holes I found there was a metal plate that blocked the drivers side holes. Luckily my dealership is freaking amazing and fixed the issue for me no problem. I even got a pimp ass mini van for the day while they did that repair, 10k service, and checked the rear diff.

Now onto a bed rack next if I can convince the wife......

 

How bad were the holes? What's they end up doing to fix it? Any photos of the before and after?

 

It wasn't too bad but wouldn't screw in all the way. To fix it they milled out the plate you see that is blocking the hole and then re-tapped the hole. I don't have after pictures since they installed the support on the roof for me. I do have before pictures though.

 

Couldn't resist and ordered the @CaliRaisedLed 32" lower bumper kit and will post when that's installed. Planning on installing that and the hood struts at the same time when it comes in.

 

Nice!! Ive been wanting that kit for a long time!

 

Get one! With the sale right now it is hard to say no. Pre-runner is bae and deserves it.

 

I also started a new Instagram account, Tacoma Tribe. If anyone from here is also on there let me know and I'll try to give you a shout out.
